Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

Welcome to Food for the Common Man, It’s Not Too Shabby!

We’ve talked about doing this for quite a long time, but never actually took the plunge. At this point you’d think we’d given up, but no, this is actually a thing we’ve decided to try. Maybe no one will read it. Maybe only our family will, To be honest, we just want a place where we can keep our favorite recipes, where we count on them still being here the next time we need them. Someplace where we can document our food experiments as rank amateurs in the culinary arts.

Let’s be honest here. Neither Lisa nor I have any formal training.

We like food and, oddly enough, we actually like preparing it. Whether it’s on the grill, in the smoker, spinning on a rotisserie, over a camp fire, or in a conventional modern home kitchen, the act of making something our family enjoys eating is its own reward.

So bear with us, Lisa and I, while we play with our food. Who knows, you just might find something in these pages that works for you and yours as well. This is our stake in the ground, or web, or intertoobs, or whatever. It’s meant to be a spot where we can put stuff that we like. If you enjoy it, then great. If not, then we’re always open to constructive criticism, so comment away!
